Introduction to Security User Behavior Analytics (SUBA)

Bring in capabilities to source, integrate and harness technical capabilities into corporate environ

Next generation Cyber theft hunting is taking differing shapes and forms. Various pillars of IT security are held together to keep enterprise secure. Newer ways of finding vulnerabilities in IT systems are being discovered at a fast speed, and IT security evangelists are just right up there to close those loops. It is important for keep up with closest possible measures to ensure cyber security, IT Security, manage big data, comply with regulations, attend to Identity and Access related requirements, setup a prompt notification mechanism, manage privilege accounts within an enterprise.

It takes note of the file or email was touched, who touched it, what was done with it and how frequently. Conceptually, SUBA is a close to SIEM (Security and Information Event Management).
